A jogger in Provo, Utah got the scare of his life when he crossed paths with a baby cougar during his run through the forest. While adventuring through a Utah hiking trail Kyle Burgess came across the baby cougar, and unfortunately the mother was not too happy about it. The cougar followed him for 6 terrifying minutes which was all caught on film.
Burgess was clearly scared for his life, he tried everything he could to scare the mountain lion away while he was walking backwards, including growling, cursing and anything he could come up with, but the mountain lion was not backing down. Burgess posted the video of the terrifying encounter that happened this weekend at Slate Canyon Trail near Provo, Utah
"My heart is racing."
